The ICRC in Ethiopia and the African Union

Oromiya Regional State, Ethiopa. The Ethiopian Red Cross Society and the ICRC assist people who fled to a forest after violent ethnic clashes in the Oromiya region of Ethiopia.

The ICRC's priority in Ethiopia is to protect and assist people detained, displaced or otherwise affected by the 1998–2000 international armed conflict with Eritrea or by other situations of violence. The ICRC’s delegation to the African Union (AU), based in Addis Ababa, works with AU member States to draw attention to problems requiring humanitarian action and promote implementation of international humanitarian law throughout Africa.
